watched episode 5, it was really amazing and the 'Hospitality Towers' model was really cool. It was a little hard to follow the multi-split screen section (the JRPG pastiche was really funny) so I might have to rewatch that part.

#citytheanimation

Finished the anime adaptation of City. I watched the dub because I wanted to be able to focus on KyoAni's artistry and not have to be bogged down by having to read subtitles.

The anime was nearly perfect, though I think I didn't enjoy it as much as Nichijou. Maybe because the show followed so many different characters? I'll definitely need to rewatch it at some point, subbed.

Though I want to mention that the last episode, with. most of the screentime devoted to a musical number starring all the characters wasn't dubbed. I suppose it was too ambitious a project for something that's meant to be practically simul-dubbed. I was just slightly miffed, however, since they managed to translate the two(!) rap musicals that the acting troupe put on stage.

The project was still impressive and ambitious and I'd put it up as one of the best anime achievements of the year.

I've taken a couple of days to mull over the final episode of City: The Animation, and as much as the whole "musical" skit was well animated and executed, I think it was a swing and a miss. For me personally, the first segment with Eri and Matsuri at the airport was better, but make no mistake, the series as a whole was fantastic.
